Stamped my Fred B. Mullet Rockfish in VersaFine Black Onyx ink and embossed with clear ep. Colored him with water colors and applied a lot of stickles. Surrounded him with miscellaneous papers - some Cuttlebugged - and part of a MS border punch. Decorated the envelope with a school of fish and VOILA!!
I love this fish, but I always refer to it as "ugly fish" because it is rather homely!! But like anything the more he sparkles the better he looks.

Love your sparkly rainbow trout Phyllis. This bad boy is far from ugly, he's a masculine sort of fish, well except of course for the glitter. Well maybe he is a cross dresser fish.

Hey, I read a chapter in the How to Catch a fish book about these Disco fish.......They are known for teasing a fisherman or two....they swim up, flash their sparklies, get a little reaction from the crew on the shore and then proceed to jump outa the water, blind the dudes with poles and it buys Big Brown about 15 minutes to get away while they all recover! Its all about keeping Big Brown safe.....
I think that is what that chapter said....although I coulda just made up this story, snort! This card rocks...so very cool. I shoulda known your card would have sparkle on it Sparkledoodle! You make an ugly fish beautiful! Beautiful, I tell ya!

This fish is soo pretty - how can a fish be ugly with all the sparkly stuff on him? This is one of the pretty manly cards that are soooo hard to do. I am really impressed! Hugz!

Got to laugh at your "the more it sparkles the better it looks". Your fish certainly looks great, he's obviously fresh out of the water. Great layout, and I love the whole school on the envelope.
